Ingredients

I don’t know about you, but I’m so ready to make these Triple Berry Muffins. Before we get started let’s gather up our ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

All-Purpose Flour: A versatile base for both the muffin mix and the streusel topping.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda: Leavening agents that help your muffins rise to fluffy perfection.
Salt: Just a pinch to enhance all the flavors.
Eggs: They bind the ingredients together and add moisture.
Sugar: Adds sweetness to the muffins and contributes to the texture of the streusel topping.
Sour Cream: My secret ingredient! This will give your muffins a rich, moist texture and a slight tang.
Canola Oil: Keeps the muffins moist and makes the crumb tender. Any neutral oil will work here.
Vanilla Extract: A dash of vanilla adds a warm, aromatic flavor.
Mixed Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries add bursts of juicy sweetness and vibrant color.
Unsalted Butter: Melts into the streusel topping to create those deliciously crumbly bits.
Cinnamon: Sprinkles a hint of spice into the streusel, pairing wonderfully with the sweet berries.

How To Make

And with that, we’re ready to get baking! I’ll still take you through the steps below. I’ve also provided a full ingredient list and detailed instructions in the printable recipe card below.

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a couple of muffin pans with paper liners and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until combined. Then whisk in the sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract.

adding wet ingredients into dry to make muffins.

Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until almost combined.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the mixed berries with one tablespoon of flour and toss them until coated (this prevents the berries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins). Then gently fold the berries into your batter.

To make the streusel topping, mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until crumbly.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them about two-thirds full, and then sprinkle each with the prepared streusel.

Place the muffin pan in the oven and reduce the heat to 375 degrees F. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Cool for 5-8 minutes in the pan. Then remove the muffins and allow them to finish cooling on a wire rack.

That’s it! Just peel off that liner and take the biggest bite you can.

As I’m writing this post and adding in the images, I can’t stop thinking about when I can make these again. Haha!

I may have to try a new combination next time. Maybe blueberries with some lemon zest? Or blackberries and pecans? Yum! So many options!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh ones?

Absolutely! Frozen berries work just as well in this recipe. There’s no need to thaw them; just toss them in flour as you would with fresh berries to prevent them from sinking.

How long do these muffins stay fresh?

These muffins taste best when fresh, but you can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate them for up to a week.

Can I add other mix-ins to the batter?

Definitely! This recipe is versatile. Try adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even a dash of citrus zest for a fresh twist.

How can I ensure my muffins are moist and not dry?

The sour cream will help with that. Also, be careful not to overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dry muffins.
